Transfer WhatsApp To A New Phone Without Losing Chats 

Transferring Messages Via Local Back-Up

•  The first thing you might have to consider is to launch WhatsApp on your old Android device from where you want to restore your old chat history. To launch it follow the following steps:
  Menu Button > Settings > Chats > Chat Backup and finally Backup.
  This will back up the WhatsApp chat history in your old Android system.
• Now you have to transfer the chat history to your new android phone. This is how to go about it:

1. Make sure that WhatsApp is on your new phone.

2. Make sure that there are SD card specifications for the two phones. If they use an external SD card, then remove the card from the old Android phone and place it in the new phone. If on the other hand that android phones use the internal SD card, then there is the need to transfer the folder or WhatsApp/SD card to the new phone from the old phone.

3. When you have completed this, connect the two phones to your computer or laptop through USB.

4. Open the old Android phone on your computer, and locate the WhatsApp or the database where the backup files are located. Copy the files from your computer and transfer it to the databases or WhatsApp of your new Android system.

5.Run WhatsApp on your new Android phone. Ensure that they are the same phone number. This is to ensure that you backup the correct chat history.

6. A new notification will pop up and click Restore.

Once you have done this you have completed the local back up and you are sorted.
